Concept:
Bring the excellent, but underplayed, Tropical Freeze to the Switch with a new playable character that basically functions as an easy mode
Graphics:
Tropical Freeze looked great in HD when it debuted in 2014, and the transition to Switch went well. The fur physics stand out in particular
Sound:
Thanks to the return of the SNES games' original composer, David Wise, Tropical Freeze's soundtrack hits all the right nostalgic notes. The new stuff is great, too
Playability:
Moving the Kong family, pounding the ground, and rolling into a jump all feel great. Even swimming works well, though it's not as fun as running and jumping
Entertainment:
Tropical Freeze stands among the best platformers of the last decade. Playing as Funky Kong is great for alleviating frustration or allowing skilled players to breeze through the game at high speed
Replay:
Moderately high
